Developer, Co-op - CARFAX Canada

Description

Working Here

At CARFAX Canada, we're more than just obsessed with cars. We're obsessed with data and using it to help millions of Canadians buy, sell and maintain cars - but you can learn that on our website. Let's talk about the sweet perks you'll get when working here (i.e. what you actually want to know): Some days you'll be taking in-house leadership training courses, other days you'll be eating a catered lunch with your team mates. Grab a seat in the state-of-the-art office at 100 Kellogg Lane and collaborate the day away. What's that, it's the summer? Well, the 4-day work weeks have kicked in; enjoy those extra paid days off! Why not use one of your paid volunteer days to give back to your community? What else can we list? Competitive wages, amazing benefits like a wellness spending fund, a company-matched pension program, monthly "work from anywhere" days, yearly performance-based bonuses, health and wellness programs, a literal award-winning culture, parental leave top-ups and all kinds of social events. To top all of this off, every day you get to choose how you get to do meaningful work with incredible people. So, looks like we're obsessed with a few things here - data and our people!
